Soup in the fall and winter is the BEST, we’d even go as far to say better than salads (although salads are still warranted, from time to time). We totally heart soups because you can do anything with them, make them light, make them creamy, add meat, go vegan, just really anything. But the best thing to do with soups (especially if you’re into that whole health thing, wink wink) is load in VEGGIES.

That’s what great about them, you can add in so many veggies without feeling like you’re eating a boring bowl of plain old veggies. You can even add in veggies that you don’t normally eat, or like, and then blend them together to soften the taste. An amazing way to get in your greens, your onions, your mushrooms, your… whatever vegetables you would rather not with.

So, thanks to our recipe contributor Rebecca, this Winter Squash, Leek And Vegetable Soup With Tofu Croutons is completely loaded with vegetables, but still undeniably delicious. You have leeks, which are in the allium family, and incredibly high in sulfur containing nutrients (the beauty mineral, you know?) And, winter/ butternut squash, which contain a unique mix of antioxidants, including Vitamin C, making it a wonderful fall and winter food if you’re looking to boost your immune system.

We’re all for this winter soup, it’s definitely a staple in our kitchen, and something that you can add more variety of veggies to, or keep it simple and easy. We pureed half the soup, and left the other half chunky to get a variety of texture, but that’s the beauty of soup, you can do whatever suits you best!

You’re going to want to get in on this soup today (especially if you’re not really digging the winter temps).
